B
Jim McGee was once an Air Force pilot in Vietnam. In 2017, he was seriously ill
because his kidneys(肾)were gone.
Jim immediately started dialysis(透析)，but a person of his age on dialysis usually
lives only about four years. Transplants are a long-shot alternative. The National
Kidney Foundation estimates that 13 people die every day while waiting for a donor
with the right blood and tissue types. Jim’s wife, Shirley McGee, and some family
friends offered but weren’t a match.
Desperate, Shirley had T-shirts made that said “I’m in need of a donor.” Her husband
would wear one whenever he went to downtown Sarasota. No luck.
In early 2018, Jim didn’t feel like attending a reunion of some Air Force buddies in Monterey, California. "I said, ‘Is it really worth going to Monterey to sit in dialysis for
two days?’”Jim recalls. "And my wife said, ‘ Yeah ，come on. You really want to see
your friends.’And I am glad I made that decision.”
In California, Jim reunited with six fellow airmen, including one he hadn’t seen in
nearly 50 years: Doug Coffman. The two had met when they both were learning
Vietnamese before they went overseas. Jim told Doug and his other comrades about his
predicament(困境).
Doug, then 70, happened to have the right blood type and immediately decided to
help. But could he? Shirley’s guess was that doctors would tell Doug what they had told
her: You’re too old. He immediately had his doctor send his medical records to
Georgetown Medical Center, where Jim was being treated.
Within a month, Doug was cleared for major testing. The testing revealed not only
that Doug’s tissue type matched Jim’s but also that he had the kidneys of a 35-year-old.
When the doctors gave him the OK to donate, Doug immediately called Jim, and asked
for the first surgery date available. On September 18，2018，Doug went into surgery at
7:30 a. m.; Jim followed at 9:30 a. m. By noon, they were both in the recovery room.
The transplant was a success.
24. Which of the following can best describe Shirley?
A. Knowledgeable and talkative . B. Reasonable and energetic.
C. Outgoing and thankful. D. Helpful and considerate.
25. How did Jim feel about his illness just before going to Monterey?
A. Discouraged. B. Satisfied. C. Ashamed. D. Nervous.
26. Why did Jim McGee decide to go to Monterey?
A. To seek help. B. To practice Vietnamese.
C. To meet his fellow airmen. D. To have a thorough examination
there.
27. What can we know about Doug Coffman?
A. He was too old to help. B. He acted without delay in
helping Jim.
C.He seldom visited his doctor. D. He was 35 years younger than
his age.
C
There's a blue house in central Florida that's hard to miss. It's somewhat famous
among people who live nearby—it's painted to look like "Starry Night," the iconic
painting by Vincent van Gogh — but not everyone is a fan of the larger-than-life
artwork.
"We had not originally intended to paint the house like this," Nancy, who lives there
with her husband, Lubomir, and their adult son, told TODAY. They started by painting
the wall outside of their home, because it was "in disrepair" and they wanted it to look
nice. The couple said they even asked permission from the city to paint the wall, and
were told it was OK. "So we went ahead and started having the wall painted by an artist who has his work shown throughout South America," Nancy said. The couple
chose Van Gogh because their son, who has autism(自闭症), is a fan of the great artist.
"God forbid my son were to be in a situation where he was unable to find his way
back home, we're hoping that he would have the ability to at least say that he belongs at
the Van Gogh house," Nancy said. And the father even believed that there was magical
connection between Van Gogh and autistic kids, because Van Gogh was possibly also
autistic.
After they painted the wall, the couple got a citation(传票) from the city stating that
the wall painting was considered graffiti(涂鸦) and that the wall must match the house.
That's when they decided to paint the entire house to look like “Starry Night”---knowing
that was not quite what the city had in mind but confident that they weren't breaking any
law.
Since then, they've been fined $10,600. In February, they filed a federal lawsuit(起诉)
against the city, claiming the city is violating their right to freedom of expression.
Mount Dora city officials nor their lawyer would comment on the issue. But in February,
they did say in a statement that they were trying to "preserve the residential character of
our neighborhoods," and that the house "may present a distraction to safe vehicle
operation along the street which fronts the home."
While both sides are in settlement talks, the fate of the mural(壁画) is still up in the
air. The family say they are ready to battle for what they believe in.
28. What was the couple’s original intention to paint the wall?
A. To beautify the damaged wall.
B. To respond to the call of the city.
C. To assist an artist to show his work.
D. To express their son’s admiration for Van Gogh.
29. What does the underlined phrase “God forbid” in paragraph three mean?
A. May God forgive us.
B. It’s forbidden by God.
C. Even God can’t help it.
D. We hope it does not happen.
30. What’s the final attitude of the Mount Dora city officials towards the unique house?
A. Supportive B. Disapproving C. Ambiguous D. Understanding
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. “Starry Night” house in Florida arouses a heated discussion.
B. Neighbors sign an online petition in support of “Starry Night” house.
C. The magical connection between Van Gogh and autistic kids.
D. Homeowners battle for their “Starry Night” house in Florida.
D
Dinner and a movie was a two-part affair. But increasingly, the two have been
combined into a single experience, allowing moviegoers to get fries and a beer while
they watch the latest superhero blockbuster. Full-service theaters have become a
Friday-night pastime for Americans.Dine-in cinemas are not altogether new. In the late 1980s, brothers Mike and Brian
McMenamin opened one in Portland. A decade later, inspired by the Mcmenamins, Tim
and Karrie league began pairing trendy beer with hits like The Craft at the Alamo
Drafthouse in Austin. But in recent years, the trend has expanded from niche (小众) to
mainstream. There are now 29 Alamo locations nationwide, from Omaha to El Paso.
Full-service theaters appeal to a broader, more regionally diverse customer base. At
Movie Tavern in Roswell, Ga. for instance, you can order popcorn shrimp while
watching Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. AMC, the biggest U.S. movie-theater
company, launched DINE-IN, where meals can be ordered with the push of a button.
For the most upscale experience, you’ll have to fly to Paris, where EuropaCorp First
Class, owned by the Fifth Element director Luc Besson, serves luxurious champagne
and caviar (鱼子酱).
The rise in full-service moviegoing goes with declining ticket sales across the
industry more broadly. North American movie attendance in 2018 dropped to what
appears to be a 27-year low. The downward tendency is the continuation of a 15-year
trend. Between lots of uninspired remakes hitting theaters, younger audiences choosing
to consume content on their smart phones and the dramatic rise in the popularity of
streaming (流媒体), it’s no wonder that theater owners are seeking creative ways to
attract customers off their couches. It’s working: despite a 2% decline in movie
attendance over four years, AMC DINE-IN achieved 4% growth in just two.
Full-service theaters are not without complaints. Despite servers’ attempts at stealth
(悄悄的行动), many find them distracting when serving food. And as expensive as
traditional theater concessions have become, prices tend to get dearer once pancetta (意
大利熏肉) enters the mix.
But for those with the funds, the full-service theater offers reason enough to quit
online movies.
32. The combination of dinner and a movie __________.
A. is a new business model appearing recently.
B. pairs trendy drinks with films in 29 nations.
C. introduces the latest movies and the dearest food.
D. gains much popularity despite the decline in ticket sales
33. The underlined word “upscale” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to __________.
A.comfortable B. creative C. expensive D.
inspiring
34. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage?
A. Ticket sales remain almost the same in the past 15 years.
B. Uninspired remade films are the major complaint of audience.
C. Full-service theaters are a creative way to promote ticket sales.
D. Full-service theaters provide a perfect experience for all audiences.
35. The passage is intended to __________.
A. argue if online movies are beneficial
B. introduce a popular pattern of recreation
C. call on people to quit expensive online movies
D. blame the decreasing movie attendance on streaming第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中
有两项为多余选项。 ．
Getting along with people can be tough. The following are some suggestions that
can help you in some way.
Accept human nature. Humans make mistakes. People aren’t always nice. They
also have all of the problems that you have in your life. __36__ This is important to
remember when you’re trying to get along with people who are very difficult or seem to
be ignoring you；everyone is just doing the best that they can.
__37__ People are all very different: that’s what makes life interesting. And just
like people are all different, the world is also very complex. Every situation is different,
always. Just because someone doesn’t make the choice that you would make or just
because they take a less efficient or smart path to get where they’re going doesn’t make
them wrong.
Practice forgiveness. Forgive people when they do make mistakes. Sometimes you
just have to stop and give people the benefit of the doubt(to believe someone even
though you are not sure whether what the person is saying is true).They might really be
sorry or they might really not know that what they did was bad. __38__
Keep an open mind. Sometimes you have to give people the benefit of the doubt.
__39__ For example, when people invite you to parties, really consider going instead of
just brushing the invitation aside because you don’t think they’re serious.
Do something together. __40__ You can work together on a project for school or
work. You can also try a new activity together. These activities will give you more to
talk about and lots of chances to interact and get to know each other.
A. Everyone is dealing with their own set of problems.
B. You might think that they hate you but they might be honestly trying to be nice to
you.
C.Think about what your words really say.
D. Doing things together is a great way to bond with people and make friends.
E. You have to forgive them so that you can move on to happier feelings.
F. Respect that there are lots of valid choices.
G. Even when someone’s making you mad, thank them for their effort to help or their
suggestions.

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport, I had one of those life-changing
experiences — the kind that sneaks up on you __41__.
I noticed a man with two bags stopped right next to me to __42__ his family. First he motioned to his younger son (maybe six years old), knelt down and gave him a long

“So good to see you son. I missed you much!” Smiling, the son replied softly, “Me, too,
Dad.” Then the man stood up, gazed in the eyes of his older son(maybe nine or ten),
“You’re already quite a young man. I love you very much.” They too gave each other an
affectionate hug.
Meanwhile, a baby girl (perhaps one year old) was excited in her mother’s arms,
never taking her eyes __44__ the wonderful sight of her __45__ father. The man gently

Then they stared at each other’s eyes __48__. For an instant they __49__ me of
newlyweds (新婚), but I knew __50__ the age of their kids that they could not possibly
be. I puzzled about it for a moment and then realized how totally __51__ I was in the
wonderfully display of unconditional love. I suddenly felt __52__, as if I were invading

How long have you been married?”
“Been together fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” he replied, staring at
her.
“Then, how long have you been away?” I asked. The man finally turned to me,
saying, “Two whole days!”
I was __54__. By their greeting, I had assumed he’d been gone for __55__ a few
weeks — if not months. I know my expression __56__ me. To ease the __57__, I said,
“I hope my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years.” He suddenly stopped
smiling, looking me straight in the eye and said something that left me another person.
“Don’t hope, friend…decide!”, and then his eyes __58__ smile again.
I was still watching that exceptional man and his family walk out of __59__ when

Without hesitation, and with a sense of __60__, I replied, “My future!”

contents — including your photos, your recent documents — no longer __62__ (access)?

country head into their local Apple stores in __64__ (tear), with broken computers in

recover __66__(they) priceless, irreplaceable files. A few get lucky. But for the rest,

Hasn't happened to you? If your computer __67__ (remain) unprotected, it will, and

bringing your files back __70__ life.第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 35 分）

there are still some who think it embarrassed to share their feelings with their parents.
Actually, everyone should attach important to family communication, because not only

Dear Michael,
How is everything going? I'm glad to know that you are interested in Chinese culture
and that you want to know something about my family spirit.
Actually, lots of good family spirit has been passed down from generation to
generation in my family. My grandparents and parents always lay emphasis on the
importance of honesty, bravery, perseverance and diligence and most importantly, they
have set good examples to me.
My family spirit has a profound influence on me, and thus I always follow what they
have taught me. For example, be friendly to others and offer a helping hand when others
are in need. Besides, I am all the time positive and never stop chasing my goal whenever
I run into difficulties. Thanks to my good family spirit, both my life and study run
smooth.
I hope you will be satisfied with my introduction. By the way, I sincerely invite you to
come to China and stay in my home for some time to experience more Chinese culture by
yourself. You are warmly welcome.
Your
s sincerely
Li Hua
